Mark Tushnet has posted William Novak's New Democracy: The Creation of the Modern American State -- a Mini-Review over at Balkinization:
William Novak’s superb New Democracy: The Creation of the Modern American State continues his project, begun with The People’s Welfare, of retrieving a constitutional tradition of active governance in the United States. Here he turns from the ante bellum years to the period from Reconstruction to the start of the New Deal. The book is bound to become a landmark in constructing the map of governance’s constitutional history.
